I agree with Evil also, and with Lucy. Meat has recruited two great female vocalists. Patti is a great performer, and I hope she builds from her solo tour and continues to have every success. However, Meat's decision was always his to make, he will have had his reasons and that he keeps them to himself is honourable and proper.
It is not up to any of us to "get Patti Russo back in the NLE"; not our call, and as Lucy says, it was undoubtedly a difficult decision, but it was made and it is now history. Meat has moved forwards and been giving wonderful shows, is working hard on a new album, and will be giving us more wonderful shows. I am looking forward to them
